Subject: Getting back to C-Kermit command level when using a command file

I have a question about C-Kermit 5A(190) on a VAX.  We use this to
provide dialout services under a menu system using a C-Kermit command file.
The command file is passed the number to dial on the command line like
this:

$ CKERMIT dialing-command-file -Y = number-to-call

Currently when the user types the sequence to escape back to C-Kermit
command level, the end of the command file is reached and C-Kermit exits.
I would like to add an option to allow the user to instead get the C-Kermit
prompt and be able to type in more C-Kermit commands (e.g., for file transfer
and to connect again), but I haven't been able to figure out how to do this
from the manual.
